"Some of the locations used camera audio for spoken intros and comic bits," said JamSync's chief engineer, K.K. Proffitt. "It was a challenge to try to separate the exhaust fan and fluorescent light buzz from the dialog in a kitchen scene without losing the sound of hamburgers frying on the grill. We found the Cedar Cambridge to be an invaluable tool for restoring the problematic location audio."

"This was a fun project graphically," said JamSync's DVD author Joel Silverman. "The client encouraged us to give creative input. We used a variation of their logo, which is on a musical staff, as the highlight graphic for the menu buttons. We used a complement of the book's cover art for the menu backgrounds. They were very pleased with the design."
